You suggets that the *****crowd (insert here) should be able to VOTE in DR

Looks like Jamaica is going to be open for tourism on June 15th.

Jamaica has a LOT less cases than DR (even proportionally). They didn't play, had 24 hr curfew for Easter, cordon off the parts of the island with the most cases, etc...

I always thought it would be fair if we could vote in local elections for mayor where we live.

magically after the elections everything is going to return to normal.. my flight for june 4th is still on for MIA to POP. hoping if not cancelled I can just pay the immigration officer if there is any trouble, only time will tell

All my relatives I talk to say life is back to normal down there (other than tourism)

What happens if a tourist arrives and gets sick with Covid19 while on vacation? Good luck getting back testing positive and good luck on paying for the hospital out of your pocket. Is the travel insurance going to pick up the bill?

Okay, just read a Facebook post by Maximo Peralta stating that they're planning on opening Santiago airport "within the next few days," whatever that means.

So, why would normal tourists travel to the DR en mass? It seems mighty risky for the general traveller at this point.
Everybody had a chance to go home. Everybody are responsible for their own actions. If you are covered by local DR insurance, I believe they cover covid. But good luck to try to sign up for insurance now.

If you are a risk taker, or have really deep pockets so you can do self insurance, all is good.

Can someone please share a link with information on ferry flights to Santo Domingo DR from USA? Any government site with date and flight info, if available, would be very appropriate. TIA

The following information has been updated on the Embassy Santo Domingo COVID-19 website:

  • The Dominican Republic has 17,572 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 502 confirmed deaths.
  • The President of the Dominican Republic extended the State of Emergency for an additional 12 days. The curfew will remain in place through June 15th. The curfew hours remain Monday through Saturday 7 p.m. to 5 a.m., and Sunday 5 p.m. to 5 a.m.
  • Ferry flights continue to be available through Jetblue and United Airlines. Contact the airlines directly to make a reservation.

I am talking about your every day resort tourist in the near future.

I think local health insurance covers for Covid. I don’t know about the international ones.
